    CVA 1847 Walker

    Increasing Accuracy

    I have a FilliPieta 44 1861 Navy, it is about 22 years old. Recently I had some gunsmithing done to it and the result was very nice. It had to be re-blued. Looks great now. I'm curious as to what can a gunsmith do to make this pistol more accurate? Not sure a trigger can be lightened on it...

    Traditional and accurate

    I'm thinking my next rifle to be a traditional percussion rifle but I want it to shoot as accurately as possible.

    Cap and ball revolver firing bird shot

    Would it damage a cap and ball revolver to fire 7.5 or 8 shot out of it? We're seeing an unusual abundance of rattlesnakes near us and I can't find ordinary snake shot for modern revolvers lately.

    Conical bullets in a cap and ball revolver

    Can conical rounds be used in a Navy or a Colt Walker? If so, are they more accurate? Thanks for any info, M
